OS v2.2 Battery indicator always shows full until device dies.

After I upgraded to version 2.2 of the OS on my iPhone 3G, my battery indicator is always showing 100% charge. After a full day of normal usage, the iPhone just died with a dead battery. I didn't even get the usual warning when the battery was at 20%.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

That problem has been around for a while. If you now give it a full charge, you will (most likely) have solved the problem. It sort of fixes itself most of the time simply by running the phone down all the way, then recharging all the way.
It calibrates the charge measuring circuit.
Post back if it persists.

Battery indicator lights show full battery but won't turn on

I have an early 2008 non-unibody MacBook Pro. For about a year now, the status of the battery has been "replace soon." I was still getting a pretty good amount of time off of one charge so I wasn't too worried. This past Saturday morning, I woke up, checked the battery indicator lights on my computer (it had been sleeping since the day before) and it said it had about 60% percent so I opened it. I was on the Internet for about 10 minutes before it shut off without warning. It wouldn't turn back on when I pressed the power button, so I plugged it in and it turned back on. When I checked, the battery status was "replace now." After using it, I turned it back off and left for NYC for the weekend and didn't bring it with me. When I got home last night, I plugged it in and tried turning it on with no luck. The battery indicator light was flashing one light, so I just assumed it would need to charge for a bit before it would turn back on. After about two hours, when I went to bed, it still was flashing just one light. I kept it plugged in over night, and this morning when I checked it, the battery indicator lights showed that it was fully charged, but it still wouldn't turn on. I still kept it plugged in throughout the day just in case, but it still won't turn on even though all the lights are lit. Is the battery just showing me false information, or should I be worried about more than just the battery? Might I have to get a new computer altogether? I bought a replacement battery online so I'll have my answer in a few days, but I was just wondering.

And for what it's worth, I tried reseating the RAM and resetting the SMC, both with no luck. Could it be the logic board? The only reason I think it might not be is because my computer still worked a little bit after it first shut off, it was only after it was off for an extended period of time that it wouldn't turn back on.

Lenovo K 900 --Battery charge indicator always shows 100 %

A strange issue after firmware upgrade in lenovo K 900 , When I charged to 100 % , the phone always shows 100 % charge . It is not getting updated and after using for 6-7 hrs the phone gets switched off without any notice . Now I can charge again and this time the battery charge indicator shows correctly . but again the same issue is seen if the phone is charged to 100 % .

Let it die all the way down, to recalibrate the battery, and then fully recharge. See if that helps.

Bluetooth battery icon always half full

I just bought a pair of new bluetooth headphones (Philips M1BT). When I pair them to my iPhone they work fine, but the little battery icon next to the bluetooth symbol in the status bar always shows half full, even when the headphones say they are fully charged. Has anyone else had this problem? Does this mean my headphones have a faulty battery or is the icon just showing an inaccurate level?

Thanks for getting back to me. I think the feature is only supported by some bluetooth devices. Take a look at the second screenshot on this page to see what I'm talking about:
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/01/01/what-do-iphone-symbols-mean-in-ios-7/

I have an iphone 4S that the battery charge always shows 1%.

When I plug it in it seems like it charges up but the indication doesn't move from 1%. I have been operating normally otherwise for the past 8 hours without recharging and it still shows 1%. I have used different chargers and it does not make a difference and have tried shutting it down. I think it is operating fine, just indicating the wrong battery charge. Has someone run across this before? What can I do to fix it.

Hi Tim,
Since the battery is holding a charge and the issue is persisting after a restart, a restore should resolve the issue.

Magic Mouse Battery Level Always Shows %100?!?

Hi,
I'm using Mavericks and I still have this bug. I tried unpairing and pairing it again but didnt work. Any suggestions?
(Please dont suggect me to use anotuher 3rd party software...)
Thank you

1. Rechargeable batteries are different: the voltage stays practically the same untill the end of the charge, then they steeply fall to "empty".
2. You may have a not too healthy battery (happens sometimes). When the magic mouse or the cordless keyboard do not work well, changing the battery for a new one often solves the problem, even if the battery inside is "full".

Battery icon says/shows full, but it is not actually charged.

My battery icon keeps saying that it is fully charged (or when it's connected to a power source that is it "Finishing Charge...") but when I unplug it, the time says it only has a few minutes left. I've tried restarting my computer, but that didn't work. I'm not really sure what's wrong with it. I've also let the battery die out and then try charging it, but that didn't work. Anyone know what I can do?

Yeah, it was purchased in August 2008. I'm not really sure what a charge cycle is, but I do plug it in and unplug it a lot to a power source. Mainly because I keep my computer on most of the time (either on or on sleep). So between taking it to classes and stuff, I'll recharge in between and when it's really low, otherwise I run it off the battery most of the time.
On a sidenote, I have went to that information thing about about the battery after letting it sit plug in for a few hours, and now it has this information:

N97 NAM Battery Indicator Problem

Hi, my Nokia N97's battery indicator does not seem to work anymore. It always shows full until the battery runs out and then the device shuts off. The battery indicator did work the very first time I tried it. I fully charged it and then after leaving the phone on overnight, the device had shut itself off. I assumed it was because the phone ran out of battery so I recharged it. After 3 hours of charging, I decided to disconnect the device from the charger and thats when the battery indicator stopped working. It's been showing full bars the entire day, even after heavy usage. I tried a reset (*#7370#) but that didn't fix it. The phone is fine, just the battery indicator doesn't seem to work. Also, after doing the reset, I lost the Ngage games. Does anyone know how to fix this battery problem and retreive the Ngage games that came with the phone. Thanks!

I have Very similar problem. Battery indicator shows full for a day, two even once for 4 days! And on th next day it starts RAPIDLY going down it is hard to finish the day without recharge.
It is VERY annoying as all my phones warn me at least a day before ran out of power (E71 is Very Good example) .
I am with 12-th FW

Battery indicator is stuck at 100%

After I upgraded by BB Z10 to 10.2.1.2102 / 2141, the battery indicator always shows 100%. Even when battery is getting depleted. Downside is that the phone suddenly shuts down when it's battery is completed discharged. Before shutting down it moemtarily shows the battery indicator color as red (empty), beeps and shuts down.
Have tried a number of things like taking battery out while charging and replacing, deleted a number of apps but no use. I think its an OS problem.
Solved!

Battery indicator when charging

When I charged my Ipod, and I turned it off, the big battery indicator always show the charging mode in evolution, even when it charged completely. I must to unplug it to verify the charge was 100%. When I plug it after that, the indicator show 100% charge batt.
Is that normal ?
(excuse my bad english)

Well have you updated to the Latest update for the one m8 it is out and it's shown up on mine,
My one m8 is charging right now I have it off the battery indicator in the Display is Horizontal and is showing 53% & the Amber Light is glowing, if you phone is not off try shutting it off use the charger that came with the phone and let it charge at Least 30 min. see what it does let up know on here..

Is the battery indicator misleading??

Hi all,
I just got the new iPod 30GB and I notice that right after it's been fully charged, when I just listen to music, within 10-15minutes the battery indicator goes from full to 3/4. It seems like the battery indicator shows the battery is getting less and less power. Do I have a defective iPod, or is this just the nature of the beast. I haven't let go all the way to the end, so I can't say whether it is actually losing it's charge, but the indicator appears that the battery is running out faster than what I'm used to with my old iPod. 10-15 minutes and the indicator going from full to 3/4 quarters seems a but fast right??
Is anyone else running into this problem? I am not playing much video on it, so it's generally playing music, but I hear the video playback uses alot more power and that battery runs out faster in that case. This would probably not apply in my case, as I took this under consideration when monitoring the issue.
Just would like to know whether this is just a display or software bug and I don't have to worry about the actual battery life running out...OR if I really do have a battery issue, I should run this back right away....
Your advisement is greatly appreciated.

So I decided to fully charge the iPod, then run the stop watch and continously play music while timing the battery life. It's been six hours so far, and the battery indicator shows a spec of red, but totally empty. It's still going though. I'll let you know of the progress. It sounds to me though that this is a combination of a battery indicator light innacuracy, and having to charge and run the battery completely down a few times to get the battery working at good capacity. I haven't ran the battery all the way down yet, so this test would be the first time. I'll try and run this test with the stop watch on, a couple of times too and see if the battery life improves. I'm at 6 hours so far, and have not played any video, so according to Apple, I'm supposed to get up to 14 hours of continuous music, so we'll see how far it goes.
At least I'm not the only one, so I'm thinking this is just the nature of the beast as opposed to a defective product. But try out the test I'm doing, and see what comes up. What does your battery life truly go to......

C3 phone memory showing full but phone empty PLEAS...

i have a c3 an the phone memory is says i only have 3mb left yet nothin is on my phone ive tried to hard reset the phone to factory settings but this just lessens my small amount of memory i have got left... when i explore my phone i have nothing in it evan deleted clip arts etc to free spae up... please someone help

I have been having this problem since the latest update a few days ago. I was out using my phone for about 3 hours and it showed that it was still full and all of a sudden it shut down. I restored my phone and it's doing it again as I'm typing. I have to shut down the phone and turn it on again a few times for the battery indicator to show the correct charge.
Another issue that I've been seeing since the 3.0 update is my service indicator constantly showing "searching" even though i can make calls. For this to be corrected I have to either 1. shut down my phone and turn it back on or 2. place it on "airplane" mode then turn "airplane" mode off.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs. If it fails, please do it again but increase the wait time in step 4 to 2 hours, and perhaps as long as 4-5 hours.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!
